So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.
Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Cor 15:58)

Today Reminder – 10 April 2014 (Day 8 – My Life)

A
reminder for today

But I
am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in
God's unfailing love. I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done.
I will trust in your good name in the presence of your faithful people. (Psalm
52:8-9)

Life – Living In Faith Every day!

What kind of a tree are you? David says that he is like
an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. Primarily, the olive tree
symbolizes faithfulness and steadfastness. No matter what the conditions: hot,
dry, cold, wet, rocky, or sandy, the evergreen olive tree will live and produce
fruit. It is said that you can never kill an olive tree. Even when cut down or
burned, new shoots will emerge from its roots. This Scripture passage reminds
us that no matter the conditions of life, we should remain steadfast as the
olive tree in the presence of God - evergreen (faithful) and bearing fruit.

One of the most remarkable trees is the olive tree. Most
of us are not too familiar with olive trees because they don't grow near where
we live. However, in the land of the Bible, it was, and is, the most important
of all the trees because it is a source of food, light, hygiene and healing.

Life is all about roots and as firm as the olive tree is
rooted to the ground we should be rooted in God. David understood this that is
why he wrote I will always trust in God's
unfailing love. I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. David
was rooted in God even when the walls came crumbling down when Saul wanted him
dead.

Let us stop for a moment and re-evaluate our position. Let
us re root ourselves in God so that we can thrive in the house of God always
trusting God and giving Him praises. Just as God made the olive tree one of the
most important trees, He also made you. You are one of the most important trees
in this world, because you can give life by living in His light.

Come and let us root ourselves in God and live in faith
each and every moment of every day.

Book for the month

There are four ways to die, and only one of them requires an intruder. Suicides, accidental, and natural deaths can occur without any evidence from outside the room. But murders typically involve suspects external to the crime scene. If there’s evidence of an outside intruder, homicide detectives have to prepare for a chase. Intruders turn death scenes into crime scenes. Join J. Warner Wallace, former atheist, seasoned cold-case detective, and popular national speaker as he tackles his most important case … with you on the jury! With the expertise of a cold-case detective, J. Warner examines eight critical pieces of evidence in the “crime scene” of the universe to determine if they point to a Divine Intruder. If you have ever wondered if something (or someone) outside the natural realm created the universe and everything in it, this is the case for you.
